to do business with you! WEB

WEB
DESIGN VALUE vs. COSTS

You already know that a website is your strongest
marketing tool, but you may be trying to keep your business expenses down.
Consider the fact that a well-designed, mobile-friendly website can pay for
itself in a very short time, ultimately making your web design costs a very
reasonable and effective part of your business marketing budget. WEB DESIGN FEES.

Why do you need a website?

A professional website is like having extra sales staff without having
to pay them a commission!

Don't take risks with your best marketing tool.

Smart business owners know their own field, and they also
know it is important to have a professionally-designed,
custom-made website to represent their business. How
committed to making a success of your business are you?
Taking the position that 'anyone' can make a home-made
website can actually sabotage your other business efforts.

With Lady Web Pro you will get more than your money's
worth in a quality website. I won't make anything to do with
the web project a 'mystery'... I'll help you understand the
process of having a good website, and the value of your
custom designed website. Your website is going to be out
there on the 'world wide web' (www), all the time, but if it
can't be found, or doesn't look professional enough to get
people to contact you, what good is it?

Responsive

We all know that utilizing a Google search
for a particular type business or organization is the way a great majority of
people find what they want.

Google recently announced 'mobile-friendly' websites will be ranked higher as
those that are not responsive web design.

The new responsive web designs are far more complex as they must be able to
display comprehensively on so many different sized devices, from desktop to
cellphone and to stay current, your business needs that type.

Starting Your Web Project!

Preparing for your website project is much easier than
you would think. It won't be stressful, or take much time
away from your work schedule, and you'll be truly amazed how
smoothly it can progress. I will do everything I can to make
the process easy and pleasant!

When structuring your web's content,
we need to tell the
viewers:

Who you are: (our experience
providing the products or services offered)

What you do: (benefits customers
have through use of our products, or services)

Who you do it for: (products,
or services)

I can edit and enhance your text for you into short
paragraphs and with one clear subject per paragraph. Concise
and to-the-point is what's best.

Text is important to
the search engines

We're not forcing anyone to read all of the text on web
pages, but we do want to have enough information for them to
feel you are telling them what they need to know to do
business with you. I'll work to enhance your text for
the search engine optimization aspect of your website. If
you have personal biographies or facts that are specific and
pertinent, please be sure to provide them at the start.

Having short, meaty paragraphs is better than having long
rambling sections but 'read more' is a good option to have
plenty of searchable content. Using word lists instead of
paragraphs are easier to scan than paragraphs, especially if
we keep them short. Detailed text descriptions are very necessary, but I will
break up the text by using crisp, clear photographs of your
services, products, completed projects or other graphics as
visual reinforcement.

Make your website text content relevant to your business
services or products. Web viewers want the information
they are looking for, so unless the web page has the
information they're seeking set out in a bold, clear,
easy-to-find way, they will become impatient and just move
on to another site.

When writing text content for the home page, be sure to
use relevant words and phrases that are strongly and
positively descriptive in telling how your services or
products are superior such as "FAST - EASY - A GOOD VALUE."
Tell the viewers WHY you make these claims. This info should
be the most prominent set up as bullets or titles.

Client Testimonials important!

The use of client comments and testimonials your
customers have provided on your products or services is
great advertising for you. These comments will go a long way
in validating your business reputation and help increase
your customer base. Web clients tell me their new customers
like reading testimonials as they feel like they already
know them after reviewing their website info.

Pictures! Pictures! Pictures!

Viewers love to see before and after photos when
applicable, or end-result photos, if applicable. I can use
your photos or stock photos to help 'illustrate' sections of
text and soften the clinical look of having text. If
you don't have any, I'll be happy to locate some inexpensive
royalty-free stock photos to use very effectively.

A word of caution about having email link contact.

If you are not someone who checks your email frequently,
you should not have an email link on your web pages. Your
lack of quickly responding risks making people feel
neglected and annoy potential clients/customers. If you are
too busy to check your email, then it's better to have have
the website guide people to call you or come into your
location.

Things I'll need for your project:

Graphics and elements that are specific client design
requests must be provided to me prior to starting your web
project. I understand you will be making changes and
adjustments to the design as we develop the site and we
agree that is totally normal part of the process, so not to
worry.

I prefer to use your original unedited photos for
clarity. PLEASE KEEP YOUR ORIGINALS AND GIVE ME COPIES. I
cannot be responsible for original photos. I don't keep or
save any photos other than the ones that end up on your
website after editing.

Colors, or color
schemes for your website

If you don't have one in mind, that's perfectly fine.
About 75% of my clients ask me to take care of designing the
whole website and I will certainly work the colors around
your logo, and other photos or help you create a simple logo
look for the website.

Your Hosting Account

You/we will need to set up a hosting account to keep your
website up on the internet. (I can assist you with this or
take care of doing it for you.) I do have my own
preferences, so please confer with me beforehand since I'm
the one having to deal with the variety of hosting set-ups
and customer services. I'm happy to have a reliable hosting
company I've worked with for 10+ years that I can refer
clients to. (I do not get any compensation for it, or
mark-up and resell hosting.)

How to provide me with your photos and graphics

You can provide photos by email or thumb-drive, or create
a disk to send to me through the mail. Scanning: I can scan
photos, but the photo quality is not quite as good as being
able to have them in digital format. If I have to scan very
many photos it will take more time, so let's discuss the
possibility of an extra charge for that service. If you
would like items returned, please be sure to mark them with
your name, and provide stamped, self-addressed return
mailing materials.
